Tag Archives: stuff i love

I’m going to start this off by saying that I have a love/hate relationship with my hair. I love my hair because it is thick, has a naturally rich colour (which means I don’t have to spend money dyeing it), and it’s generally very healthy. But as much as I love my hair I still have issues with it. My main issue is frizz. My hair isn’t quite curly but it’s far from straight. It’s in a weird in between state. After years of flat ironing my hair (only to have it start curling in the summer heat) I decided to give up and embrace my hair’s natural wave/curl. But with that came frizz. Finally after years of trying to get it under control I discovered Moroccan Oil. This stuff is amazing! It’s not perfect but it smooths out my hair so that I can let it air dry. This way I get the best of both worlds: my hair can retain its wavy/curly texture but I no longer have to deal with frizz.

Side note: I have tried some of the other products in the Moroccan Oil line but they don’t work as well as the original oil. I only suggest using the original Moroccan Oil.

I first heard about Soak a few years ago when I discovered my now favourite lingerie store, Secrets From Your Sister. Soak is a laundry soap to use for hand wash only items. At first I figured it would be nothing special and didn’t want to try it. But the ladies at Secrets gave me a few samples to try (Soak comes in a variety of scents) so I gave it a go. Now I know raving about laundry soap may seem a bit out there but this stuff is amazing! The premise of Soak is that unlike other hand wash detergents, Soak only requires you to, well, soak your clothes in a mixture of the soap and water and then wring them out and hang them up to dry. Unlike the regular stuff, you don’t have to spend ages trying to rinse all of the detergent out of your clothes. I tend to be pretty lazy when it comes to laundry so Soak is definitely a must have for me. Not only that but it has a lot of other uses. I now use it for all of my hand wash clothing, not just lingerie, and I also use it to clean my makeup brushes. I love the Lacey scent and as silly as it sounds, Soak has changed the way I look at laundry.
